8. Tree Planting in Cambridge Green and Marble Wood Reserve
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/243478
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Toby Chapman (Urban Forest Manager) Toby.Chapman@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 To seek approval for the planting within Cambridge Green and Marble Wood Reserve following public consulation.

1.2 The Christchurch Urban Forest Plan has a focus on increasing the size of our urban forest accross the city. The Urban Tree Planting program has been set up to implement this plan through the planting of new trees within our parks.

1.3 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the number of properties that will be impacted and how it will alter the park for those who use it.

1.4 The planting within this park is part of the urban forest planting program. This program is focused on increasing the canopy cover across our park in alignment with the Councils Urban Forest plan.

1.5 All submissions received on the two planting plans showed support for the plans and therefore no alterations have been made.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Approve the planting of trees within Marble Wood Reserve as per the consulted plans.

2. Approve the planting of trees within Cambridge Green as per the consulted plans.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Staff have produced plans for Marble Wood Reserve and Cambridge Green to provide for a significant increase in tree planting. These plans have been designed in alignment with the Urban Forest Plan with a focus on increasing the city’s canopy cover, in particular within the open space environment.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Plans are not approved.

Advantage:

4.1.1 If Community board have significant concerns with the plans they would have the opportunity to make changes.

Disadvantage:

4.2 Staff have a limited tree planting season. If plans are not approved, we risk not being able to plant any trees within these parks this year.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 In 2023 the Christchurch City Council (Council) adopted an Urban Forest Plan which has a key focus on increasing the city’s canopy cover. The Urban Forest Tree Planting program was established in the same year as part of the implementation of this plan.

5.2 Planting plans for Marble Wood Reserve and Cambridge Green have been developed to significantly increase the number of trees (and canopy cover) within these parks in alignment with the Urban Forest Plan.

5.3 The plans have a strong focus on ensuring that the trees selected and their placement will be suitable for the full life of the tree and takes account of the impact they will have. This is represented in the plans through showing the trees at their mature size as well as the inclusion of shade mapping.

6. Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.1 Consultation started on 15 December 2023 and ran until 1 February 2024. An email was sent to 86 key stakeholders.

6.2 The consultation was hosted on Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk. The landing page for the tree planting plans had 2,577 views throughout the consultation period, the Cambridge Green page had 32 views, and the Marble Wood Reserve page had 26 views.

6.3 A Newsline article published on 15 December 2023 and posted on our Council Facebook page reached 10,958 people.

6.4 Flyers were delivered to properties neighbouring the park to notify them about the consultation. Signage was installed in the park with a QR code to the consultation webpage.

Marblewood Reserve

6.5 No direct submissions were made for Marblewood Reserve, however one recognised organisation (Te Mana Ora), made a general submission on all plans which you can read in Attachment A.

Cambridge Green feedback

6.6 Submissions were made by one recognised organisation (Te Mana Ora), and 3 individuals. Of the individuals, two identified as living or working in the local area and one used it to walk through on a regular basis. A full table of submission feedback is available in Attachment A.

6.7 Submitters were asked how important it was to them to increase the number of trees in the park, what factors should be considered in the plan, how they felt about the overall plan, and the level to which they would be impacted.

6.8 All individual submitters somewhat support (1, 33%) or strongly support (2, 66%) the plan. Additionally, all individual submitters felt it was somewhat important (1, 33%) or very important (2,66%) to plant more trees in Cambridge Green.

6.9 Submitters were asked to rate how important various aspects were to them when increasing the tree cover in this park. The top three aspects were attracting birds and insects, planting more native trees, and planting more flowering plants. The only concerning aspect was the potential for debris to drop on neighbouring properties.

6.10 Key themes and requests raised by submitters are described below, ordered from most to least mentioned.

Theme	Mentions (# of submitters)
Request to plant more natives	2

6.11 Additional feedback not relating to trees was received. 1 submitter requested to raise the pathway to keep the park accessible during flooding, and one requested to employ methods to reduce the number of pests in the reserve. This feedback will be provided to Council staff to take into account as part of the park development program.

7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

7.1 This planting plan is in alignment with the City’s Urban Forest Plan, in particular the following objectives:

Objective 1.1: Grow our urban forest and achieve and maintain canopy cover targets;

Objective 1.2: Distribute canopy cover equitably, with no ward having less than 15% total canopy cover;

Objective 2.4: Increase the visibility of native tree species and create ecological corridors; and

Objective 2.5: Select and design planting sites to enable a tree to reach maturity and minimise conflicts with the surrounding area.

7.2 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):

7.3 Parks, heritage and coastal environment

7.3.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.8.2.1 Increasing tree canopy in Parks - A net increase in total number of trees is achieved (1:2 replacement policy), with a minimum of 50% of the trees being medium to very large species.

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

7.4 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies. All planting will be in alignment with the Tree Policy, Infrastructure Design Standards and Construction Standard Specification.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

7.1 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

7.2 The decision involves a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

7.3 Mana Whenua values, as expressed in the Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan, have been incorporated into the Urban Forest Plan. These planting plans are part of the implementation of this plan.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

7.4.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

7.4.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

7.5 The plans will result in an increase in canopy cover across the city. As trees sequester carbon, this will have a positive impact on the Councils emissions reduction.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

7.6 The trees have been planted with a setback from paths to avoid issues relating to roots and adjacent infrastructure.

8. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

9.1 There is no legal context, issue or implication relevant to this decision.

10. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

10.1 The greatest risk to this project is the availability of trees and the ability to plant the trees before the end of the planting season.

10.2 If trees are not available or planting is not able to be completed, these parks will be completed during the next planting season.

11. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

11.1 Using the feedback from the members of the public, tree species will be allocated to the locations within the planting plans.

11.2 Trees will be ordered from our CCC nursery and planting will commence during planting season 2024. Where possible, public will be advised when we will be planting in case they would like to assist.

3. Key Points Ngā Take Matua

Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro

3.1 The recommendations in this report align to the Council's Community Outcome of A Cultural Powerhouse City - Our diverse communities are supported to understand and protect their heritage, pursue their arts, cultural and sporting interests, and contribute to making our city a creative, cultural and events ‘powerhouse’.

Decision Making Authority Te Mana Whakatau

3.2 Determine the allocation of the discretionary Response Fund for each community (including any allocation towards a Youth Development Fund).

3.3 Allocations must be consistent with any policies, standards or criteria adopted by the Council.

3.4 The Fund does not cover:

· Legal challenges or Environment Court challenges against the Council, Council Controlled organisations or Community Board decisions

Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Mana Whakatau

3.5 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3.6 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.

3.7 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.

4. Applicant/ Te Kaitono 1 – Alisa Wada

4.1 Age: 19

4.2 University: Canterbury

4.3 Suburb: Redwood

4.4 Event seeking support for: Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships in Cali, Colombia, in April 2024.

4.5 Alisa is one of two people from Canterbury who have been selected for the New Zealand team for the Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships. The Pacific Rim Championships is a major regional biennial gymnastics competition. It is open to teams from member nations of the Pacific Alliance of National Gymnastics Federations. Alisa's long-term goal is to compete at the next Commonwealth Games.

4.6 As gymnastics is a self-funded sport, Alisa and her family bear all the financial responsibility of her participating. She works part-time three nights a week, and intends to organise a quiz night, selling wine and a movie night to help with the costs. Any assistance provided will directly contribute to covering these expenses, positively impacting the athlete's prospects as a competitive gymnast.

4.7 This opportunity for Alisa will provide not only international experience, but also increase her exposure to competing against various levels of abilities and allow Alisa to relay these experiences back to the Gymnastic community.

4.8 Staff support this application as it meets all the Youth Development criteria. The recommendation aligns with the practice of allocating $500 for National representation and participation in an international event.

This is the first time Alisa Wada has applied to the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Youth Development Fund.

4.9 The following table provides a breakdown of the costs for Alisa Wada to represent Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships in Cali, Colombia.

4.2 Safer Speed Limits Update

On 26 February 2024, the Transport Operations Manager provided the below update:

We’d like to let you know that we’re making good progress on our delivery of safer speed limits around schools and neighbourhood streets in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula. We’re currently delivering the latest phase of the Interim Speed Management Plan (Safe Speed Neighbourhoods), which was adopted by the elected Council in July 2023.

Whether our residents are visiting whānau and friends, letting tamariki (children) walk, scooter or bike to school, or driving to work or home again, they should be able to do it safely.

Speed limits have already been changed in the following areas:

· Areas across Banks Peninsula, with the exception of the digital signs at Diamond Harbour.

· In Spreydon, Beckenham, Somerfield, Sydenham and Opawa, with the exception of digital signs.

· The Richmond neighbourhood.

The areas we’re currently completing are:

· Linwood, Phillipstown, Woolston and Bromley – sign installation works will be in progress from this week until late March.

· Shirley Road / North Parade (variable zone) – sign installation works will be in progress from late March, pending the supply of signage materials.

You may have heard that the Government is making changes to the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022.

As the Council is a road controlling authority (RCA), we have the ability to set safe and appropriate speed limits on the local roads within our Council’s boundaries. Advice from NZTA Waka Kotahi is that certified interim speed plans can continue to be implemented.

Improving safety on local roads is a key priority for Christchurch City Council. We want our residents to get where they are going safely regardless of how they travel.

You can view a map showing all current speed limit changes across Christchurch and Banks Peninsula, which features a map layer you can tick to see community board boundaries. Use the search function on the map to search any street.
